Ghost Of A Wetland Poem by Sheena Blackhall

Forestry, livestock, game bird, housing
Brown trout, frogs and playful otter
Salmon, voles and curlews wheeling
Lapwings, herons, gulls and dipper

Oystercatcher, pink foot geese
Honeysuckle, butterflies
Grasses, heather, whins and peace
Hare on Tomnaverie lies

Cuttieshillock, Reekitlane
Wild white roses, peat and fern
Quick red squirrels, Coull, Kincraigie
Buzzards on air currents turn

Morven, Waukmill, Millhead, Gellan
Ruined castle, quiet graves
Does this ancient land remember
Wetlands, moss, meandering waves?
